The program has allowed me to process resentments and losses that I have been holding onto for years. I am especially thankful that I was able to go through it with my facilitator, she truly created a safe environment for me to process everything. This program exceeded my expectations. I plan to continue applying the process to other relationships.

I've never known how to process grief before. I wasn't sure this was really going to work or not but I did what the book and my facilitator asked of me, and now finished, I feel such a peace. A weight has been lifted and I have hope for the other relationships that are incomplete.

I lost my father this January to COVID. The amount of pain I experience is without description and I was able to speak to Sarah in the time in which I needed to talk about loss with someone who wasn't going to be overwhelmed. I felt isolated and most of my friends or support would offer words that would only make me feel worse. Sarah was the ears and the heart that was able to hear me and give me the feedback that I needed. After the first time I talked to her, I felt a connection and something that felt like the friend that I needed. She then took me through the journey. I'm an avid reader and I can't say the style in which it was written would have hit home if Sarah did not share her personal examples and connected the book to the losses I described to her. The chart was very beneficial and I don't think I would have taken the time to truly reflect on my life and discover the importance of forgiving, apologizing and expressing emotional truths toward my other parent. I have found a new flow and a focus for my life, and a change of perspective I needed. I will forever be grateful toward Sarah for accompanying me through this and mentoring me.

I have learned that there are many types of losses, and the assignments that were given really helped me “dig deep” into my relationships and the feelings I didn’t want to feel. I loved using the Timelines, and the stories in the book were so helpful. I learned to be gentle with myself. As a professional in the healthcare field, I work with individuals who suffer from trauma. This program has given me tools to implement in the care of those I help. I think this program would be a wonderful certification to add to my skill set. Thank you so very much!

I learned a lot about myself. One of the most impactful experiences was coming to understand my myths. That experience provided me with insight into how deeply closed off from my own emotions I have been. I found the grief and relationship timelines also very impactful. They showed me how much loss and grief I have carried with me and helped me notice that the issue that brought me to the GRM program was more nuanced than I realized. That loss included many positive moments, not just negative ones, and choices I needed to take responsibility for, and that I could not place the blame for my situation entirely on others. I found the recovery steps also impactful. I saw fully what I had been holding on to that had prevented me from moving through that grief, and I was grateful to be able to express it all via the completion letter.

I worked on the relationship with my Dad, who is still living. It has helped my relationship with him so very much. I understand so many things about our relationship that I didn't understand before the class. I saw some patterns that happened several times that I didn't recognize before this class. It has helped me realize my part and how I can move forward with a much better relationship with him.

The GRM worked extremely well. I finally feel the grief I felt over my mother's death and our relationship during her life is now complete. I feel complete peace for the first time since her death in 2009.

Outstanding! This program gave me a new perspective on my losses and how, unintentionally, I can be able to judge myself hard through them. Now, there is more acceptance and reconciliation in my life.

Detola helped bring me out of a haze. As someone who likes to move on from things very quickly, I had not been able to deal with all the pain from the loss of my daughter. I was surviving each day but not really 'living' or thriving. Detola listened, and I felt she truly heard me. Helping me identify my STERBs, my specific patterns when dealing with loss, and face the emotions surrounding the brief but intense relationship with my daughter has been a freeing experience. I feel better equipped to face my new normal. I feel complete.

The program gave me words to describe my feelings and activities to help me process and complete my pain. It also showed me how I have coped with grief over the years and equipped me with the strength to recognize and reject those habits to walk in healthy ways of dealing with my emotions.
